Artist Picasso. It’s natural for young artists to draw small, so directing them to touch the edge of the paper really opens things up.

This formula will work with all kinds of media, and creates a lot of big spaces that are easily colored or painted. 1. Draw a nose line in the middle of the paper, make it as long as your finger. 2. Draw two angled lines on the side of the nose. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14.

Thanks for visiting! Welcome to the first of “Kids Get Arty” series. This were Red Ted and I start exploring The Great Artists together.
Blog Archive Exploring The Great Artists - 30+ Art Projects for Kids. Introducing the Great Artist to my kids is something that has been on my agenda for a long long long time.

My kids are only 4yrs and 2yrs old, so of course there is still plenty of time. However, this hasn’t stopped me buying lots of wonderful art books for children (amongst our current favourites are Kate and the Mona Lisa and Anna’s Art Adventure), as well as going on trips to art galleries (our most memorable trip being to the very welcoming Tate Britain, but also a couple of visits with Granny to the Royal Academy).

Now I am keen to “up the ante”.
No Time For Flash Cards - Play and Learning Activities For Babies, Toddlers and Kids. Journey Into Unschooling. I love repeated patterns and, as a child, was always fascinated with the ones made by connecting opposite sides of dots on paper.

You started off with a line of dots on either side of the paper and connected the bottom ones from one side to the corresponding top ones on the other side. I wanted to make a toy that would allow LS and company to explore various line designs similar to those.

Embroidery with Kids: Start Sewing. The best part of embroidering with a group of kids is this. Quietly and happily sewing together. Chatting about their stitches, what they ate for lunch, and favorite Star Wars characters. I love how the act of embroidery can be both individual and social at the same time.

In Part 1 of this little series, I talked about my philosophy of embroidery with kids and supplies to get you started. Now we have our materials and have drawn the design with pencil onto the muslin.

35 Fun Russian Nesting Dolls Tutorials Posted on | June 5, 2011 | 6 Comments Image by Katey Nicosia My mother-in-law always had a set of beloved Russian Nesting Dolls above her fireplace mantel, but they were the “don’t touch” kind of dolls.

I’m not sure where they came from but they were very precious to her. Since both sets of my great-grandparents were Russian immigrants, these Russian Nesting Dolls are also important to me.
Doll Furniture and Linens are Finished!

Embroidery for kids from House On Hill Road. The lovely Erin from House On Hill Road shares a delightful way to teach children embroidery using their own drawings. Imagine the satisfaction and pride this would give a child to stitch their own artwork. Erin writes… One of my favorite kids’ crafts is embroidery. My daughters have been hand stitching designs from the age of four. In my opinion, their uneven stitches and little mistakes add to the embroidery’s charm.

Matryoshka Doll Ornament. There is something so nice and comforting about Holiday Traditions isn't there? A thread tying memories together from year to year. It seems most of our traditions tend to revolve around food in our family, but I thought it would be fun to start making each child a Christmas ornament every year (am I setting myself up for failure here? Probably.) and then someday when they leave our little nest (sniff) they will have something to start their own Christmas decoration stash with--and take a little piece of their childhood home with them too. I had a little down time last week (has the cold bug hit your house too?) So I pulled out my stash of felt and got to work.

Sewing and embroidery for kids with dollar store shelf liner. I like to hand sew things, and ever since the kids were old enough to notice me sewing, they have wanted to have at it. When they were really little I put together a toddler sewing kit, which I blogged about here. It was very basic with large lacing cards and beads. They loved it for quite some time, but now they are kind of over it. It was good for two and three year olds, but now that they are five and nearly four they want something a little more involved and more like the real deal. I spotted a particular type of shelf liner in rolls in the Dollar Tree last week and on closer inspection it was the perfect material for learning to sew with. I mean REALLY perfect.
